What Exactly Should I Track With The Custom Statistics?

To get started, we suggest you take a look at your strategy, where you keep having problems, what you think might add more clarity and then decide what to track. Here is some food for thought:

A popular way to use the Custom Statistics is by tracking higher timeframe direction or the overall trend and market condition

If your strategy utilizes indicators, it may be wise to track crosses, overbought or oversold levels, and divergences

If you use price action patterns or individual bar patterns for confirmation of your setups, track those and see how their absence or presence affect your performance and which works best

You can track individual criteria of your entry methods to find out which signals are adding the most to the prediction value. You can then differentiate between mandatory, “nice to have” and not needed criteria.

Use a slot to track multiple entries and exits of your trades so that you are able to see how scaling into and out of positions impacts your performance

Tracking the time frame you made your trade entry on can also help you understand your performance better

Not Just For Technicals

Another way to use the Custom Statistics, apart from dissecting your strategy even deeper, is by using them to track your psychological state. How is your performance when you are stressed out when you did not get enough sleep, when you rushed through your day, when you had a workout in the morning, or when you had too many drinks last night? Does it affect your performance when you had an argument with one of your beloved ones or with your co-workers?

As traders, we have to perform at 110% all the time and small things can make a huge difference. If you think that a psychological barrier takes away from your performance, start tracking it and see whether you can find a correlation to negative results. Then eliminate that behavior.
